channels premiere a lot of Korean, Chinese, American films. English songs appear in iPods or
MP3 players of many teenagers. All shows the tremendous effects of globalization on Vietnamese
life, especially Vietnamese culture.

Globalization does bring convenience and comfort to Vietnamese people. Now we can enjoy
goods and services with high quality and competitive prices as many foreign companies join our
market. Advances in communication help eradicate geographic borders among countries and
therefore connect our world. Especially, globalization shortens the long-standing distance among
different cultures. For example, right here in Viet Nam, we can watch latest movies made in
Hollywood; we can read famous books written by authors from US, UK, EU, Japan, China… We
can see the appearance of restaurants serving Thai, Italian, Japanese, American, Latin American
food in big cities. Moreover, globalization is fast and useful ways to present Vietnamese culture to
the whole world.

However, that does not mean globalization does no harm to the culture of our country. One of the
most concerning problems caused by globalization is the dominance of foreign culture on
Vietnamese life. Simply put, people lose their traditional values and begin to identify with the
culture of dominant nations. Perhaps, the most apparent and serious effect is language. Our
Vietnamese language is facing “severe competition” from other languages, especially English.
